SHERMAN on THE TARIFF.

In his recent speech in Tennessee
John Sherman said that the Repub-
llcan position on the tariffs "That
while levied for revenue, they
should DO so adjusted as to pro Get
foster and encourage American in
dustry."
Several democratic newspapers
have said that this IS the doctrine
Of the democratic party on the tar
liz, but the NewA g. courier atA
tempts to read out Of democratic
ranks all who accept such n posi-
&ion. We 'sce nothing whatever
In the utterance, ever though it
comes from John Sherman, that is
mot In harmony with every demo-
cratic platform we have read. Ger
Satn 1t IS, that the democratic party
has declared for q tariff for reve-
nue.; and although Mr.. WATTERsON
did manage togctintoonc platform
"fOr only" the history of
tho party is that democrats have
sought such an adjustment Of this
"tariT for revenue" as to give Incl
dental protection. If Republican
Legislators would act in accordance
with this doctrine which Sherman
attributee to his party, there would
be no difference on that point. But
this doctrine is not the practic of
che republicans.

Diffusion Process for Making Sugar.

The diffusion process for making sugar
is very simple. 1t consists. in brief, in
%chopping up the cane into small BIDS, say
sliccs an eighth Of an inch thick, then
stepping the mass in tubs for two or three
hours with hot water. This extracts the
taccharinc matter much moro effectively
than the ordinary mode of squeezing tho
cano between rollers. The warm Juice
thus obtained is then heated and stirred
with the addition of limo, and finally
brought to a boil; it is thcn allowed to
stand q whilc and the clear part 10 then
run into the III pans end boiled into
sugar, in tho usual manner. The refuse
from. the tubs may be fed to cattle. Any
intelligent farmer may work the process.
Tho cost OF apparatus is misunderstanding

FARMERS AND THE FACTORY.

FARMERS AND THE FACTORY.
There is no doubt but that the
proposed cotton factory will infuse
new life into every trade, persuit
and profession, not only in town,
but all the towns around, and the
County at large; but it is our de-
sire to show that farmers, more
than any other class will be direct
ly benefited. OF course farmers
cannot be benefited without bcne-
fitting everybody else, because they
are the producers, but We agree
with Bill Arp; there arc too many
farmers in this section. We need
more consumers.
Now why should farmers be in
terestcd in this matter? President
IIammett Of Pieemont, states that
his mill pays out to his operatives
100000 in cash a year. This mon
sy is spent by operatives at home,
and most of it for provisions. Hero
we have in this county $4,000
spent for the very articles the far
NOR has to sell, which would other
wise not be here; consequently he
Is given a market for his produce.
But the main advantage to farmers
Is in the price Of their chief product
cotton. We know that last year
these cotton factories paid on an
average one cent per pound more
for cotton than could be had tlsc-
where. They bought direct from
producers, and saved freight, stor-
age, commissions, etc, and they
could rfford to give more. Now
what does this mean to the farmers
Of Laurens County? 1t is simply
q matter of one hundrcd ant sirty
thousand dollars more to the far
mers than they would get without
tho factory! But, you ask. what is
that to me? Ify0u work one horse
and make 10 bales Of cotton, it
means just $4,000 more than you
would otherwise get. Now 5000
per horse added to his income ev-
cry year, will help many a poor
! in this county to make money
at farming. Suppose you invest
$500, in the factory for every pillow
you run, you get 10 per cont inter
est in the price of cotton, and this
So ,,,nrnl,. n,,n Of fhn iNniflfI,tn1
profits from the factory.
Hundreds of men who do not
raise cotton have found cotton fac
tries to be good Investments. We
see they arc all paying good divi-
bends, and many as high rs 20 per
cent. There is no question but
that if properly managed ours will
pay as much "a any, so that we
have in addition to the $4,000 ON
cotton, $4,000; making $4,000 prof
1t on ten bales Of cotton, ABOVE the
price paid for The cotton. Is there
any Investment equal to this? We
would discourage no II who has
a desire to buy bank stock, hut
such an Investment cannot be com
pared to q cotton factory. And
besidcs o man can use his stock in
the factory as collateral to get mon
ey at the bank to run his farm.
Many a man can by making an eff
fort put one or two thousand dol
lars In this factory, and while it is
unquestionably safe, it is all the
while bringing him good interest.
The committee charged with
raising this capital stock are meet
ting phenomenal success, but every
dollar subscribed onlv makes the
enterprise more valuable and will
tond to make it pay better. Let
every man take stock, even though
It DO only a few shares. We must
strike now or never.

THE MURDERER PAYS The PENALTY,
Lewis Stewart Expiates his Crime on the
GalloWs.

Notwithstanding the fact that
during the past twenty-five years,
over fifty homicidcs have occurred
in this County, the execution Of
Lewis Stewart, the wife murderer,
was the only lawful execution du-
ring this period. n full account OF
the confession Of the prisoner has
been heretofore published in these
columns, and it is not necessary to
rcpublish that horrible story. Ear
lyon Friday morning IL reporter
visited his cell with II view to get
ting any statement he might desire
to make. Bat the prisoner said he
had nothing O to say. He had
already confessed what he had
done, and all he had to say was
that he believed he was %forgivcn.
lie said he desired to thank Sheriff
BallcW for his Kindness, especially
since he has been under sentence.
Said@hc, "I'vc scome. to love the
Sheriff better than II brother,
though at first l hated him like Il

The prisoner appeared TO be hear

first stcn towards thc r~rnlizotion of
that nwfnI srrnr which had boon

No question has ever been pre-
scntcd for the considcrati on of our
people, so important and far reach
ing in its effect, as that which has
for the past fcw weeks absorbed
all others at this place viz: the
cotton factory. The meeting held
on Tuesday night was thoroughly
representative, and from the spirit
Of those present, VIC are not sur
priscd to find that the measure is
assuming shape. \ committee Of
fifty mon in the County has been
appointed, and these mcn are spec
tally urged to secure $4,000 Of the
capital stock each. This amount
a undoubtedly be raised and we
may expect the full amount of
$4,000 subscribed in marvellous
ly short time. Our people have at
last realized the situation, they no
longer look upon the measure as
ono ofthc grand possibilities which
the future must bring forth, but
they have come to look upon it as
a living reality, certainty. They
realize, for one tho absolute ncccs-
sity for this enterprise, if we OK
pcct to grow and prosper rs a
town and county. They know that
we have made commcndablc prog
ross in the past few years, and they
know that unless something Of the
kind can be accomplished, we will
not only stand where we arc, but
will witness the glory which should
be ours, pcr3hcd upon anothcrs
banner. Unless we can improve
and establish u cotton market, we
cannot reasonably expect trade to
come to us. We have the railroads
but they have done all that Il be
done until we turn our attention
towards factories. They have on
~ placed us in Il position favorable
to such enterprises, and all that
remains to bring prosperity to Lau-
rcns and Il good, sound, healthy
boom to this section, is the enter
prise under consideration. 1t will
bring n home market for farmers.
They can then sell corn, flour,
chickens, eggs. butter, hog and
hominy, and have their cotton
turned into clothes at home. Now,
work for the factory.

the tariff that needs reforming.
What we need is u tariff that
docs not take one cent morr from
the people than is absolutely ncccS-
sary in order to raise the revenue
for the government economically
administered which will at the
same time give the greatest pro-

tries. This is the correct doctrine
Of tho National Democratic party,
and the sooner Southern indilid-
uals, societies and newspapers,
cease harping on "frco trade" the
better it will be for us, and the
sooner We can get real tariff reform.
